Unable to hold left click down

Hello all!

I've been running parallels for a few months now and my biggest complaint right now is that I can't left click and drag items consistently. For example, when trying to drag a window to a new location the window will just stop dragging halfway through. This also happens when selecting text, dragging and dropping icons, etc.

I do not use coherence mode and I have this problem whether using the built in trackpad or a microsoft mouse. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
 
Hi SamA1,

That shouldn't happen.

Does this happen only with Parallels Virtual Machine or in Mac side as well.

If it is with Parallels only, please try the following steps :

- (Re)install Parallels Tools : http://kb.parallels.com/4841
- Go to Virtual Machine Configure -> Hardware tab -> Mouse & Keyboard -> Change Smart Mouse to 'Auto-detect for games'.

And let us know how it goes!
 
Reinstalling parallels tools appears to have fixed the issue for me. I'll have to test it further over the next few days since it was only every happening sporadically, but if I don't post again that means I'm not having issues any longer ;)
 
Hmm, actually after working today I've noticed that it is still an issue. However, I think I've figured out exactly how to reproduce the bug. By the way, I do already have Smart Mouse set to 'Auto-detect for games'.

It looks like the issue happens when I give a different monitor focus. For example, if I left click the desktop background on monitor two then move my mouse to monitor one and try to drag a window the window will drop about .5 seconds after I clicked the left mouse button even though I have not released the mouse button yet. I can reproduce this 100% of the time.

I'm running the latest Macbook Pro 15" without discrete graphics, I'm using the default Mission Control behavior ("Displays have separate Spaces" is checked) and both OS X 10.10 and parallels 10 are up to date.
 
Oh, my fault I thought I had just updated Parallels. Unfortunately I've just updated and the bug still exists.
 
Hello Sam,
Click on Actions in the Mac menu bar > Configure... > Hardware > Mouse & Keyboard > set "SmartMouse" to Don't optimize for games
Now try to re-produce the issue again and check how it works.
